Confronting the climate crisis and advancing environmental justice fully depend on a functioning democracy. This means ensuring every American's fundamental right to vote is protected, fair and just judges sit on our courts, and our voices aren’t silenced by fossil fuel billionaires and corporations.
We seek to build a democracy that is truly of, by, and for the people, where the people participate, have trust in our institutions, and our values are reflected in the actions of the leaders we choose. A healthy environment is contingent upon a healthy democracy.
